WoW!!! Was like a kick back to the early 80s! Chairs were OLD & Paint Chipped as I waited in the bar area to the Right along the window I couldn't believe my eyes as it was early the Bar Floor was Dirty & then I looked up at the Bar area and Noticed the DUST in VIEW of customers right at the Register... Is this the BEST that LB Gay Owned Restaurant can do:~( SO SAD & I won't be back... Being from San Francisco I guess our Gay Owned Restaurants like Mecca is the Kind of FINE Dining Establishment I am used to...

What a pleasant surprise Paradise Piano Bar and Restaurant was. We had Black Mussels, Ahi Tuna, and Calamari and all three dishes were very good. Seriously, I'm a bit of a food snob and every dish was spot on.
My partner and I went on a Sunday for live Piano music and brought with us our straight friend, Kristin. We were there to meet another group for a birthday celebrations. The larger group we met was also a mix of gay and straight people. What we all had in common, was that we all had a great time.
At the end of the evening the bill came and that provided yet another shock - it was about half of what I thought it was going to be.
I'll be back soon !!!
Pros: the food was excellent, fun crowd, good waitstaff

This place was close to a business meeting I had. On what should have been a pleasant evening with one of my clients, almost immediately the thin veneer of this quality dining experience was soon laid bare, with embarrassing clarity. From the food, to the service, to even the tissue in the bathroom, everything literally screamed cheap!
Pros: location
Cons: phoney pretention, charges top dollar for hollow experience.

I moved from Chicago and live a block from Paradise. I was so excited to have what seemed a fun place for cocktails and conversation so close. After several visits, I have accepted that the food is not going to get any better and it is mediocre (at best). The whole place stinks of small town putting on a Versace gown and calling themselves ""classy"". The staff treats the customers they don't know with a contempt that suggests that you have entered a club for which you must be someone's guest but are not a member. Of course, they have a regular clientele that have endured the attitude and have been accepted as members. You will likely see the same cast of characters wearing their silk shirts with the high tipping coots who have ""bought"" their membership clinging to them at any opportunity. With any luck, Mary will be like her sister in Chicago and the rest of us can go for a good time without the pretense that Paradise relies on.
Pros: Location
Cons: Food, Attitude, Aged Furnishings

Great place - just too pricey for this area known as the Gay Ghe-to. Nice staff. Has lots of relics from past Long Beach places: the big eagle statue from the old downtown bank, floorboards from the old skating rink, chairs from the Queen Mary. Lots of politics inhouse too - Peyton Place has this as a rival.
Pros: Nice clean place to go
Cons: Expensive
